There will not be so many women out of work in the coming winter as there were last year, but the position of the unemployed women very unsatisfactory, says the "Times.""
The principal cause of unemployment among older women is stated to be the immense demand for juvenile labour, owing to its cheapness. Women are, for some kinds of factory work, too old at 18, and girls leaving school at 14 are being taken on to such an extent that at the dinner hour the, hands coming out look almost like a troop of children leaving school. The sugar and confectionery trades are said to have absorbed a very large amount of juvenile labour. The same is true of the tin-box trade. Young girls of 14 to 16 are now being put in charge of machines formerly run by women.
